skills necessary for further development, and focus on the four competitive strokes - free, back, breast and fly, as well as starts
and turns.

The Blue program is an extension of the pre-competitive program. Fundamental skills, including all competitive strokes
plus starts and turns, will continue to be stressed while swimmers are introduced to endurance swimming and competition.

Bronze program further develops technical skills while introducing swimmers to land conditioning. Bronze level athletes continue in
their development of training and competitive principles

foundational training principles. This group is for swimmers with a high level of commitment who are working toward competing at the

perfecting all technical skills while learning advanced training principles. The group is for swimmers with a high level of
commitment who are competing at the provincial level. A higher emphasis is placed on increases in training load with specific speed
